Need of the Hour Apps for Technology Journalists

Today the entire world is submerged in the world of apps. In fact, we are spending more hours on apps than on anything else. Flurry, a mobile analytics firm, says that US mobile consumers spend 02 hours and 48 minutes with their device, and approximately 86% of that happens with apps alone. The trend can also be observed here at home in India, which ranks third, in terms of Internet usage, after US and China.

When we have apps for entertainment buffs, social networking fans, games and sports enthusiasts and bibliophiles, then why not for technology journalists. With this in mind, I scoured the Web to find need of the hour apps for technology journalists.
